Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-155: ------------------------------- You mean the partition reassignment tool, not preferred replication election tool, right? > Support graceful Decommissioning of Broker > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-155 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-155 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.7 > Reporter: Sharad Agarwal > Fix For: 0.8 > > > There should be a graceful way of decommissioning the broker so that there is > absolutely 0 data loss. Decommissioning is not necessarily related to > replication (Kafka-50). > There should be a way to get the broker out of the cluster only from the > produce side. Consumers should be able to continue keep pulling data. When > the administrator is sure that all data has been consumed by consumers, > broker node can be removed permanently. > Same would be useful for rolling upgrades without any message loss. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
